• Fort Worth police officer ‘fired’ over Racist Facebook meme

    The other day, I posted about a husband and wife pair of Fort Worth police officers who were suspended over posting a racist meme on their joint Facebook account. Again, here’s the meme along with part of their profile photo. At the time of my initial post, I wondered what form of the confederate flag…


  • Two Fort Worth police officers under fire for racist Facebook meme

    Two police officers who work for the Fort Worth Police Department in Texas are facing heavy criticism for a meme they shared on their Facebook page. That’s right. One Facebook page. That’s because the two officers have the dreaded ‘couple’s Facebook page’. Is there anything more insecure than the couple’s shared Facebook page? Anyway, the…


  • Vigo County Sheriff’s deputy posted “The South Was Right!”

    You can add the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office in Indiana to the ever-increasing dumpster fire that is Facebook racism. One of their long time deputies was recently fired. The reason behind the termination was not initially made public until local media filed a  public information request. It seems that the good deputy had somewhat the…


  • Trench addresses the Facebook Confederacy of Dunces

    I know Facebook isn’t the apex of intelligent political discourse but I was shocked at the number of people, who I thought were smarter than that, defending the Confederate flag. Yes, I know it’s not the official flag of the Confederacy, stop being pedantic, and while you’re looking up the definition of pedantic you may…


  • Another Confederate Controversy

    Here’s where I get called a liberal, a Yankee, and usually some other unflattering comments, which usually show off the ignorance of the commenter. Confederate flag causes flap: So this kid from a little Podunk town in North Carolina attends college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He buys two confederate flags at a Virginia gift…


  • Redneck Monday

    I just love theme days. South Caldwell students can wear attire that includes rebel flag: A local high school banned attire that contained the confederate flag. Well, all the rednecks were so up in arms about it they repealed the ban. As usual, the excuse they give is they want to celebrate their southern heritage.…


  • Why not just wear the Nazi flag?

    Suspended ‘Dixie chicks’ defend attire: Cute play on words CNN has going on there. Anyway, 35 South Carolina high school students were suspended for wearing a t-shirt that shows chickens hatching from eggs decorated with the Confederate flag and says”Southern chicks, better than the rest”. The student interviewed by the AP said… “I had no…


  • You Lost…get over it

    Ok, so I’m reading an article in the local news rag (The Charlotte Disturber) about a local high school student who got suspended once for having the Confederate flag in the back window of her truck and then got in trouble again for wearing the Confederate flag on her t-shirt. This got me to thinking…
